Reviews

[Jesse Kearney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent system for “inventing” characters. Types and classifications for the most part. More useful as a reference book than a single read. I would recommend to only an experienced novelist/dramatist, someone who could truly flesh out the characters created. Perhaps this would be good to inspire a series novelist or a busy writer’s room on sitcoms or drama series where they are constantly churning out material on a schedule.

I didn't read all of this, but I think it has one of the most shocking catalogs of personality I've ever had the fortune of discovering.

A composite method of constructing characters, based on 4 prime personality temperaments and 4 prime motivators, combined ad infinitum. Insightful but hard to read. General pass.

Much as one would expect.
